Start up issue
Hi all,
I'm experiencing an issue starting the car lately. The car seems to struggle to start for the first start-up of the day, and then seems fine for the subsequent start-up for the remaining day. Here's a video clip I took this morning:
Based on the other thread, it seems some people resolved a similar issue by replacing the starter. Would a bad starter affect only the very first start up of the day, and not subsequent start up? I wanted to avoid paying $500+ for a starter replacement and not being able to resolve the issue.
Any help will be much appreciated, thanks!

how old is your battery

A corroded battery connection or faulty positive or negative wire can cause similar symptoms. Testing for voltage drop across connection and wire will ID this problem. Don't rule out faulty battery w/o a test.
good luck

Checked the battery connection and also test the battery, they seem to be in an acceptable state. Any other suggestion(s)? Thanks for your help!
